Data portability is the obstacle between regulatory compliance being an expensive chore, to turning it into a strategic asset.
But here's the unavoidable truth: you can't do any of it if you don't truly own your data.

Last week, we discussed data trapped in "walled gardens."
Consider the following scenario:
A producer uses their sales velocity data to identify that "Strain A" sells out in 5 days, while "Strain B" sits for 30.

Your compliance data is a goldmine of business intelligence.
Are you using it? Or is it trapped in your vendor's "walled garden"?
This week, OpenTHC discusses practical ways to use your own sales, inventory, and compliance data to make smarter business decisions.

Our subscription software includes App and our POS terminal.
These are the applications that report to state-managed compliance reporting.
However: App and POS are built on the principle of "free as in speech".
Or, "libre as in liberation".

When evaluating business software, the word "free" can be misleading.
You have to know the difference between "gratis" and "libre" software.
Gratis software doesn't cost money, but may come with limitations
The tool is free, but might be monetized in a way that is invisible to the user.

Good tech should stay out of the way.
With our new B2B Shop Embed feature, this meant making our own platform an invisible engine so our client's brand could be the hero.
Platforms should serve you, not the other way around.

Good news everyone! We've finally been able to drop the legacy #metrc v1 (2015) API code and only have to deal with v2 (2023). Nice to clean-out the old junk.

Let's talk about brand consistency in the B2B sales cycle.
Why do we spend so much effort building a brand, only to send our most valuable wholesale clients to a third-party domain to place an order?

A powerful reminder from our LinkedIn community that the most important work in technology isn't always the flashiest.
It's the quiet, consistent effort of maintainers who ensure the systems we depend on are stable and secure.

ICYMI: the consequences of regressive policy.
In 1972, the govt ignored science on cannabis, and set back progress for decades.
A regressive business choice? Getting locked into a closed system that controls your data and limits your growth.

TIL a wild story from the history of cannabis policy.
In 1972, President Nixon appointed the Shafer Commission to get data to back his anti-drug agenda.
But the bipartisan commission went off-script. They unanimously recommended DECRIM.
Nixon was so mad he buried the report.

Should your POS vendor have veto power over your marketing software?
We believe in building a «permissionless» tech stack.

One of the most critical decisions a business makes is whether to build, buy, or rent its core technology.
In the cannabis industry, the default has been to "rent" SaaS platforms, but this creates dependencies at best.
It can create misaligned priorities at worst.
